Becoming like Christ for the sake of others

You are my Shepherd 05/10/16

My Version of Psalm 23
You are my Shepherd, You will always care for me,
Laying me down in green meadows, near soothing waters,
Refreshing and restoring my soul, leading me in the right way.
If I plunge into darkness, I will not fear for You are with me,
Protecting, correcting, guiding and encouraging.
You will honor me before my enemies, anointing my face with oil,
And I will feel the joy and delight of Your Presence.
Your love and mercy will chase after me every day, every moment,
And I will always dwell near You, in this life and in the next,
My heart given to you forever and ever and ever.

The National Day of Prayer where we in Laguna joined 40,000 other gatherings around the country to pray for our city and nation.

I wouldn’t mind being overcome in the Spirit some Sunday. How about you?

May The Holy Spirit lead, teach, correct and fill you this week.
